As the world’s leading luxury brand, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is best
placed to understand and harness the many different possibilities of
luxury for its influential clients. Throughout history the power
brokers and history makers have negotiated some of the most historical
agreements in confidence thanks to the ‘luxury of privacy’ afforded to
them by the rear compartment of a Rolls-Royce.

In this spirit, Rolls-Royce announced at the 2018 Chengdu Motor
Show today the introduction of the ‘Privacy Suite’ for the new
Extended Wheelbase Phantom; an innovation that provides unrivalled
levels of privacy and luxury.

As it has over the past 90 years, Phantom today stands as the
most celebrated luxury item in the world. Its legend compels the
world’s most influential and enigmatic individuals – men and women who
demand the ‘luxury of privacy’ wherever they travel. Expressing a deep
understanding of this requirement, the marque has created the Privacy
Suite, balancing function and luxury without compromising the space
and comfort of rear passengers.

Rolls-Royce has once again demonstrated the link between luxury
and technology with the integration of Electrochromatic Glass,
allowing front and rear cabins to be visually separated at the touch
of a button. The rear occupant is offered the option to see through
the glass and on to the road ahead or to instantly transform the glass
to opaque, providing a highly sophisticated and absolute level of privacy.

The Privacy Suite also represents a leap forward in sound
absorption in a motor car that is already hailed as the quietest in
the world, delivering the highest possible levels of acoustic
insulation. A frequency-specific compound inhibits the transmission of
conversations in the rear cabin to the front cabin, yet a fully
integrated Intercom System allows communication on demand. Controlled
by the rear passenger, the Intercom System can be used to open a
direct line to the driver at the press of a button whilst the driver
is able to ‘call’ the rear occupants, who can choose to answer or
reject the communication.

In addition, a large aperture controlled solely by the rear
passenger allows documents or other objects to be easily passed
between the front and rear cabins. When open, the aperture is
discretely illuminated to ensure passengers are satisfied with the
nature of the documents or objects before they receive them.

A Bespoke Rear Theatre Entertainment system has also been
integrated into the Privacy Suite, which includes two high definition
12-inch monitors linked to the motor car’s suite of fully connected
software as well as an HDMI port that allows passengers to synchronise
their highly secure personal devices. This complex execution of
craftsmanship and technology is deployed and controlled from the
centre console and, combined with Starlight Headliner and Bespoke
Clock, creates a peerless ambience for passengers.

Rear Privacy Curtains have also been added allowing full closure
of the side and rear window as well as Rear Privacy Glass, extending
discretion when the curtains are open.

To view this truly Bespoke Phantom, Rolls-Royce invites members
of the public to the Rolls-Royce stand HALL9 H918.
From 31 August to 9 September 2018.
